Description

Ufo cerroneuroteri Tang & Melika, 2012

Ufo cerroneuroteri Tang & Melika in Melika et al. (2012). Zootaxa 3478: 147. Type material: NMNS (holotype), paratypes in PHMBL, USNM and NCHU according to Melika et al. (2012).

Distribution. Taiwan (Nantou, Hsinchu and Taoyuan counties) (Melika et al. 2012) and mainland China (Zhejiang province) (Wang et al. 2016). Also, from South Korea (Melika et al. 2012: 156, Ufo koreanus section).

Biology. Reared from asexual galls of Cerroneuroterus vonkuenburgi (Dettmer, 1934) on Quercus variabilis (Melika et al. 2012). Also, from Biorhiza nawai (Ashmead, 1904) presumably on Q. variabilis (Melika et al. 2012: 156, Ufo koreanus section), even though B. nawai is known only from Q. mongolica and Q. serrata (Pénzes et al. 2018). Also, from undetermined galls on the underside of leaves of Q. chenii Nakai (Wang et al. 2016).

Remarks. According to Melika et al. (2012: 156), a paratype of U. koreanus labeled as ‘ KOREA, NIAST, 10. Oct. 1997, YPT., June Yeol Choi.’ belongs to U. cerroneuroteri.
